Lionel Messi and Neymar
Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Leandro Paredes scored as Paris Saint-Germain beat Ligue 1 strugglers Bordeaux 3-0 amid whistles from their home fans for their stars including Lionel Messi on Sunday, days after their European meltdown.
Amid a gloomy atmosphere in the French capital four days after their Champions League exit, the club's stars Messi and Neymar were jeered with Mbappe the only player spared.
Seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi was booed like never before in his career, even in the rare bad times with Argentina, by his own supporters, whistled at each touch of the ball.
The Parisians hold a 15-point lead on second-placed Nice and are on track to equal Saint-Etienne's record of 10 French titles, but the frustration of their home fans spilled over.
